Amy - Should you pop back in before christmas Have a great Christmas, Enjoy this busy week, hope Phoebe feels better for christmas. Bailey has a cold (his nose is running like a tap, has a funny old man cough) but he's doing ok, a bit grumpy today, but I am hopeful he will be right as rain for Chrissie Day too

BG - Hope you are feeling better too, sounds like you are on the mend. And yes, you are a candle-aholic

Bella - ouch re the biting! Glad you likes Bailz's card. I loved J's too, very very cute!! Eeeeek re constant 36 degrees, we are in for a heatwave this week - 42 on wednesday arrrrggghhhhh, but should be a respectable 26 for Chrissie Day with any luck

Nicole - we got another couple of nights of 12-13 hours, I almost dont know myself! Last night he woke at 430 and I couldn't get him back to sleep without a bottle, but as he went to bed at 630 he did pretty well! I'd love for him to drop the night bottle altogether, I'll see what happens this week

Kat - LOVE the pics of Ivy and her solids on FB, they made me laugh

Niadla - Are you going away for Chrissie? I saw on FB that you are packing!

AFU, we are going ok, I am really looking forward to Bailey's first Christmas so that's pretty exciting. Have had a few family events this weekend which was nice and my Dad is down from Broome until after NY so enjoyed his company today, I think he and Bailey were delighted with each other, this is the third time Grandad has seen him since he was born which is pretty good seeing as we live so far apart.

Anyway, must away, the washing maching is beeping at me to unload it
